Songkeeper: Sun & Moon

Here is another older video. "Sun & Moon" is a feature in dual-flute playing, with my bass E redwood flute made by Geoffrey Ellis and my mid-G cedar flute, which was started by Raymond Redfeather, then brought to life and finished by myself. This is a song that I don't perform very often, but it's usually received well when I do. :)

Original music and performance by Stephen Cumberworth.

My CD, "Songkeeper: Only Natural," is now available at http://cdbaby.com/cd/cumberworth

Wow! How are you switching notes on the other instrument? Did you add in the other part later?

[Lanovran]

No overdubbing here; it's all live! I change notes on the bass flute through breath control. I blow softly to play the standard "all-holes-open" note, and I blow a little harder to get the higher "overblow" note. To bring the bass flute down to that low note, I simply cover the top hole with my left forearm.
